What people are saying about Elaphiti Islands

Marko provided us with the best experience we could have asked for! We didn’t have much of an idea of where we wanted to go, and asked Marko to show us his favourite spots and best recommendations. We had a wonderful day, it really was the best day of our entire holiday. Clean boat, very polite and stocked well with refreshments. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. We booked this trip as we had already done another boat trip, but wanted a more luxury and personalised experience. Marko ensured that we had that we had the best time.
